BUSINESS ADVISORY MEETING

For the past few years we have met with business owners to share new ideas and listen to ideas and concerns.  This year I would like to invite all business owners to meet on Tuesday, October 8 at 8:00 AM at the Administration office, 1230 Beechview Drive.  We are truly interested improving our service to businesses.  We have some new ideas about ways we can collaborate with Vermilion businesses, including streamlining the fundraising efforts of our support groups and offering free advertising for local vendors.  I will be discussing future school district plans, and ways the Ohio Report Card impacts your business and our entire community.  I hope all Vermilion businesses will consider sending a representative to this meeting. 

EVENTS POSTED DAILY ON FACEBOOK

Are you a fan of Vermilion Schools on Facebook?  If not, you should be.  Facebook is a wonderful tool that we use daily to post reminders of school events, athletic team scores, student awards and achievements and other important school news.  We also use it to remind residents of community activities that are sponsored by our local non-profit organizations. If you are using Facebook and would like to stay in touch with our schools, please consider “liking” our page.  Search for us at facebook.com/vermilionschools . 

STUFF THE VAN FOR THE FOOD PANTRY

Vermilion High School is sponsoring a food drive at the home football game this Friday.  If you are attending the game, please bring a canned or non-perishable food item to the game and help us stuff our vans!  All donations will be given to the Vermilion Food Pantry.  Non-perishable items include powdered milk, cereal, oatmeal, pancake mix, powdered baby formula, baby food, peanut butter, pasta, canned meats, canned fruits, vegetables or soups.  Thank you for helping us fight hunger in Vermilion. 

                                                                            

VERMILION SCHOOLS IN TOLEDO BUSINESS JOURNAL

We were delighted to be featured in the September issue of the Toledo Business Journal.  The article was very complimentary of our project to consolidate our facilities onto one campus at no additional cost to taxpayers.  Both the City of Vermilion and Vermilion Schools are being recognized statewide for innovative and forward-thinking ideas.  We are hopeful that this recognition will help attract new businesses and residents to Vermilion. 

PARENTS:  PLEASE UPDATE YOUR STUDENT INFORMATION ONLINE

We still have quite a few parents that have not updated emergency contact information for their child.  Your contact information is very important in the event your child is injured.  It is also used to keep you informed about severe weather events and other important school announcements.  Please make it a priority to complete the update at https://studentinfo.vermilionschools.org/ .  Username and password information can be obtained from your child’s school office, or by contacting the Administration office at 440-204-1793.  

LUNCH MENUS

We have had a number of requests for school lunch menus.  The menus are available on our district website and paper copies will be available in the school offices very soon.   The menu is also printed in the Photojournal weekly.
